  1. Barbara Ehrenreich's book "Natural Causes: An Epidemic of Wellness, the Certainty of Dying, & Killing Ourselves to Live Longer" was sort of a strange #read. I'm usually a big fan, but she had her contrarianism cranked up to 110% here. If read thoughtful, it's a decent critique of #medicalization, and the #corporatization of longevity & death/dying. But, she seems to selectively use research, without noting the average benefits of #PreventativeMedicine. Also uses lots of anecdotal exceptions.
